Lerie2010: The museum has one of his original reed boats and replicas of all of them and a wonderful lecture theatre ... it is because he understood the link between the islands and South America ... try going onto google and research it a little and talk to me again about it ..

Kaybee50: The timing of this thread is interesting. I am 51 and although I generally seem the most attracted to men around my age range, there is someone who is 31 that intrigues the heck out of me. But I keep saying to him and myself, "You are too young for me!"
I have dated a few men in the their mid to late 30s, and in all of those cases, they "felt" too young for me. Not so much because of their number of years, but how we related.
Now here is this 31 year old guy, and although I haven't met him face to face, the communication is easy, he seems to possess an old soul. I don't "feel" an age gap at all. But my mind is questioning my sanity.

HI KB.....It's good that you are questioning this because 20 years is a big age difference. Even though you say he is an "old soul" I would be concerned about the interests both of you have. In 20 years you will be slowing down and he will be 50, right in the prime of his life. More then age difference IMO it's more important to be on the right communication level.
My daughter didn't get married until she was 32 and her husband is 11 years older then her. They are completely in tune with each other on every level. I think it's more important that you think of this guy might the "the one" and what it will be like in 20 years with him. Right now you are vibrant and active but when you are 70 it's a whole different ballgame. I'll be 70 next year and I have slowed down in the sense that I don't want to be running to clubs and concerts but I do like the energy of intimacy (maybe..
) and having things in common to talk about. To answer the OP's question "is it wrong", as far as I know it's not against the law. It's only wrong in the eyes of people who are judgemental.
One more thing KB, don't forget, this is the internet. Need I say more..

and what if you get together and you have the best twenty years of both your lives, then maybe even 30 yrs, then the older one passes away (male or female) then the other one is left on their own with hopefully another 20 yrs to live without their partner and we all know how much easier it gets to find the right partner as you get older, or the overwhelming joy of being alone after a long term loving relationship, right?

This, I wouldnt let stop me,it is not written in stone that the older person dies first. My ex husband died last year at the age of 52 and it is by no means a rare thing that someone young dies.
As for the age gap thing, I dont believe that age is just a number, it is the sum of our lives and experience, what would a 30 year old have in common with a 50 year old? two different stages of their lives, I believe.
I do however think that as we get older an age gap of 10/15 years is not really an issue, i.e. a 19 year old and a 29 year old in my opinion would have little on common but a 29 year old and a 39 year old might.

It is really as simple as this.....If both people care less what "other" people think,then nothing matters except what they think.....end of story.........

I take your point about any of us being vulnerable to passing away from any amount of causes at any given moment but in the general run of things we do hope to live a full life and even in your case your husband was the older one and you are alone now, an age gap of 20 yrs would make this even more probable.
I don't imagine for one second that you were glad to be a widow and I know I'm not, I certainly wouldn't wish it on anyone else, especially when there is so much more life expectancy to be lived.

Agree! It is something between two.. We never know for how long love is given for us, so thinking "how it will be when she is 50, but he 39..." - it is not productive.

Rose1010: Yes ! You are absolutly wright ...but still ... don't you think that 10- 12 yrs is a huuuuge differece?
No not at all, women now a days looks much more younger than their age..my X- was 7 years younger...that was long time ago,he was 23 ,I was 30...now he looks like he is 10 years older than me...

serene56: I think it depends on the ages of the people involved - if I, in my 50s, went out with someone in their 40s, I expect most people wouldn't have a problem with that (not that it's anyone's business and besides, I've always dated younger men )
But when I was 41 and was dating an almost 30 year old it probably seem a bit out there to some .. but we had no problem with it at all

Through your eyes he looks 10 years older than you,through another woman eyes maybe 10 years younger.------ This thread is Archived ------
